Arindham Chaudhari


I didn't expect Arindham Chaudhary to write in defence of Radia Dutt et al,

(http://arindamchaudhuri.blogspot.com/)

but in retrospect its only logical. He does hold (several) important stakes in media (which he uses to legitimize himself), He is a fairly uncomplicated kind of attention whore.

It takes balls for this man to come out and comment on other people's ethical standards, he has no fear of glass houses whatsoever.

I don’t quite hate Arindham Chaudhary… I believe he is scum, of course, but also an entrepreneur par excellence, he makes a tidy profit out of flimsy credentials (a gold medal from the college his dad owned), mediocre intelligence and somewhat bland writing skills.

He makes millions out of a ‘university’ that isn’t recognized in India, that prospers by duping its students to pay several lakhs for a piece of paper- a "college" that lies through its teeth about itself in every forum imaginable, boasting of some of the least qualified graduates in the country, and whose staff has alienated recruiters everywhere, earning the hallowed title of 'worst brand name in Indian education' in HR circles.

And he's a multimillionaire 'expert'.

It's amazing.

No one can monetize mediocracy as well as this guy can.

I salute this man for his spirit, a man of conviction, he knows exactly what he wants and goes out to get it.

I can only stand in awe of his unstoppable desire to drag this nation through the mud, as long as he can get a buck out of it.

It's pains me greatly to be forced to undermine you in every little way I can, Sir.

Sorry sir, I just don't like your ponytail.

It's six o clock in the morning, I haven't slept. Of all the things in the world that can move someone, I didn't think that reading about a billionaire would come so close to bring tears to my eyes.

-CENSORED-
Do you want to know what he really said? It'll sound even more narcissistic than what I'd written.

Guess that counts for something.
I'm becoming more of a thrill-seeker every day.

Where are my desires?

Where is that book I've needed to write for a year?
My writing ability is deteriorating with every passing day. Soon I'll be unable to write at all.

Where is the success that I am told that I have achieved?
In some abstract corner? An imaginary variable.

Where is the freedom I long for most?
With every passing day- it is further from me than the last.

Where is my art?
All I see is lazy bastardization and cliche... my lack of technical skill infuriates me- yet I do not have the time to practice.

Where is my science?
I did not think that this would be something I'd lose... but... where am I. Lost in a confusion of equations and evaluations, I no longer thirst for knowledge in the same way. Blame coaching, perhaps.

Where is my body?
I've lost it already- and to the least interesting desire of the flesh.

Where is my Mind?
I used to like thinking of myself as a deep, mysterious personality- Yet all I find is blank space and an empty soul. Maybe I just don't want to think any more... it's too painful, self-destructive.
Funny how I can't seem to reconcile the roles of actor and observer.

Where is my Love?
Fucking some guy quite regularly, no doubt.

Seriously though... even doing things is getting boring.
For now, I'll bury these doubts under the badly formed strumming of my guitar.
Strong enough to Resist?
Or
Weak enough to Fold?


Does it even make a difference?

DAMN IT.

Jealousy is NOT something I do often. I don't like this.
